Driving to town motor backfired and stalled, speed was about 5 MPH. No power steering at the time. Lucky I was pulling up to a traffic light. Mechanic said #4 spark plug blew out of the engine block damaging coil pack and fuel injector. Just bought vehicle not to long ago and now have to spend a small fortune to repair a clear design flaw by ford motor company. They are not going to recall until they are required to. So much for made in USA quality. Now I just hope the vehicle does not catch fire sitting in my driveway!

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 ford expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle would sporadically stall. The dealer stated that the coil pack located near the air compressor, could develop moisture, which would cause the coil springs to fail and the vehicle to stall. Secondly, the technician stated that in rainy conditions, condensation under the hood could cause the coil springs to fail spontaneously. As a result, the risk of a crash is increased. Three coil springs need to be replaced at the cost of $500. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure and current mileages were 120,000.

Our 2000 ford expedition has an electrical problem that was described in ford special notice 15773. When it rains, water leaks into the gem/cjb and causes the electrical system to short out. This results in blowers running while the key is not in the ignition, the car to stall out while in use, and the car to not start at all at sometimes. Since it is an electrical problem, it may also lead to vehicle fire. This occurs every time there is rain/snow. The dealership has looked at the problem before, but has not been able to find the problem. I discovered the problem searching on the internet and finding many other owners with the same problems. Finally, one post referenced ford special notice 15773 which describes exactly what is happening to our vehicle. This needs to be recalled before fires and worse occur.

I own a 2000 ford expedition and after a hard overnight rain an electrical problem began. When I got into it the next morning the radio was playing and the heater display was on. When I started it all seemed normal until I put it into gear and the radio stopped, the heater stopped, the windshield wipers wouldn't work, and the windows wouldn't lower and when put back into neutral or park everything went back to normal. I brought it into the ford dealer who does all my repairs and he told me it was the gem module and it would cost $1000.00 for repair. I have no choice so I authorized the repair. He then informed me that when I pick it up I need to take it to a windshield repair shop to get the windshield resealed due to a defective seal that caused a leak that caused the gem module to malfunction. It seems that this is a large burden to put on the consumer since it is a known defect and there is no assurance that it won't happen again. I also believe this could be dangerous causing the vehicle to stall while driving or wipers to malfunction in the rain or any number of other problems since this module controls so many of the vehicles controls and instruments.
